Electronics

I have recently taken up electronis as a hobby. Most of my projects are instruments or music related, which partners perfectly with my other hobby - composing music. Check out the projects below. Click on a project title to see more info, video demos and schematics.

I have also started Jovian Synth. This company designs and develops electronics instruments and audio equipment. The company was created along with Scott Gravenhorst as a means for us to fulfill requests from musicians who want to purchase products that we previously only made as a hobby.
